Windows XP System Installation Steps

Windows XP system installation Steps (graphics)

Set boot from CD drive in BIOS

First, the preparatory work:

1. Prepare the Windows XP Professional Simplified Chinese installation CD and check that the optical drive supports self-booting.

2. If possible, scan all hard disks with ScanDisk before running Setup to check for hard drive errors and fix them, or it will be cumbersome to check for hard drive errors when Setup runs.

3. Record the product key (install serial number) of the installation file using paper.

4. If possible, back up all drivers under the original Windows XP to the hard disk (for example, f:drive) with the driver Backup tool (e.g., Driver Wizard 2004 V1.9 Beta.exe). It is best to write down the motherboard, network card, video card and other major hardware models and manufacturers, pre-download driver backup.

5. If you want to format the C-drive or D-drive during the installation process (the recommended format is C-drive during installation), please back up the useful data of C-drive or D-drive.

Second, start the system with CD-ROM:

(If you already know the method, go to the next step), reboot the system and set the CD drive as the first boot disk, save the settings and restart. Put the XP installation CD in the CD drive and restart your computer. When you start, you cannot start the XP system CD installation by quickly pressing the ENTER key as shown in the following figure. If you do not know the specific procedure please refer to this same--how to enter the Pure DOS system:

Third, install Windows XP Professional

The installation interface will appear as shown in Figure 1 below as soon as the CD has been started.

Full Chinese hint, "To install Windows XP now, press ENTER", and then press ENTER, the following appears as shown in Figure 2 below

Can be agreed, there is no room for selection, press "F8" after the following figure 3

Here use the "down or up" arrow keys to select the partition used to install the system, if you have formatted the C drive, select the C partition, select a good partition and press "Enter" key to enter, the following figure 4 appears below

The selected partition can be formatted to convert the file system, or save the existing file system, there are a variety of options, but note that the NTFS format can save disk space to improve security and reduce disk fragmentation, but there are many problems at the same time dos and 98/me not see NTFS-formatted partitions, Select "Format the disk partition with the FAT file system (FAST), press" Enter "key to enter, appear below Figure 5 below

To format the C-drive warning, press the F key to prepare to format the C drive, which appears as shown in Figure 6 below

Because the space selected for partition C is larger than 2048M (that is, 2G), the FAT file system does not support disk partitions larger than 2048M, so the installer formats the C drive with the FAT32 file system format, press ENTER to enter, and the following figure 7 shows

In Figure 7, the C partition is being formatted; You can only start the XP installer with the CD-ROM boot or install the boot floppy to provide the format partitioning option during installation, and if you boot into DOS with the MS-DOS boot disk, when you run I386winnt to install XP, there is no format partitioning option when you install XP. After the format c partition is complete, it appears as shown in Figure 8 below

In Figure 8, when you start copying files, the Setup program starts initializing the Windows configuration after the files have been copied. The system will then restart automatically after 15 seconds. After restarting, it appears as shown in Figure 9 below

After 5 minutes, when prompted 33 minutes will appear as shown in Figure 10

The regional and language settings are selected by default, and the "Next" button appears as shown in Figure 11 below.

Enter your name and organization, here is the name of your future registered user name, click "Next" button,

Setup automatically for you to create a long and ugly computer name, you can arbitrarily change, enter two times the system administrator password, please remember this password, Administrator system administrator in the system has the highest permissions, usually login system does not need this account. Then click "Next" appears as shown in Figure 14

Start the installation, copy the system files, install the network system, and soon appear as shown in Figure 16

Let you choose the way the network installation, choose the typical set point "next" appears as shown in Figure 17

Point "Next" appears as shown in Figure 18

Continue to install, you do not have to participate in this, the installation program will automatically complete the process. Automatic restart after installation, the Start screen appears, as shown in Figure 19

The first boot takes a long time, please wait patiently, next is welcome to use the screen, prompted to set up the system, as shown in Figure 20

Click on the "Next" button in the lower right corner to set up the Internet connection screen, as shown in Figure 21 below

The broadband dial-up connection established here does not establish a dial-up connection shortcut on the desktop, and the default dial-up connection name is "My ISP" (except for customizations), a broadband dial-up connection that is established through the Connection Wizard on the desktop, a dial-up connection shortcut is established on the desktop, and the default dial-up connection name is broadband Except for customizations). If you do not want to establish a broadband dial-up connection here, click the Skip button.

Here I first create a broadband connection, select the first "Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) or cable modem", click on the "Next" button, as shown in Figure 22 below

The current use of telecommunications or Unicom (ADSL) residential users have accounts and passwords, so I select "Yes, I use user name and password connection", click the "Next" button, as shown in Figure 23

Enter the account number and password provided by telecom or Unicom, enter your preferred name at "Your ISP's service name", which is the name of the shortcut menu for the dial-up connection, and if left blank the system will automatically create a name called "My ISP" and click the "Next" button, as shown in Figure 24 below

has established a dial-up connection, Microsoft certainly wants you to activate the XP now, but even if does not activate also has the 30 days probation period, why urgent? Select "No, please wait a few days to remind Me", click "Next" button, as shown in Figure 25 below

Enter a user name that you normally use to log in to the computer, and click Next to appear as shown in Figure 26

Click Finish to end the installation. The system will log off and re-login as a new user. Log on to the desktop as shown in Figure 27

Seeing the picture of Blue sky and white clouds, you know what is going on. But there is only one icon for the Recycle Bin on the desktop. To find common icons, see below.

Six, back to common icons

On the desktop, click Start-to-connect to the broadband connection, as shown in Figure 32

Left click "Broadband connection" do not let go, drag it to the desktop blank, visible to the desktop more than a "broadband connection" shortcut. The result is as shown in Figure 33

Then, right click on the desktop blank, in the pop-up menu, select "Properties", that is, open the Display "Properties Window" as shown in Figure 34

Click on the "Desktop" tab in the diagram and appear as shown in Figure 35 below

Click on the "Customize desktop" button in the left lower part of the figure, as shown in Figure 36

In the upper part of the diagram, tick the spaces in front of my Documents, my computer, My Network Places, and Internet Explorer Four items, then click OK, then OK, and you'll see more icons on your desktop than you want. Figure 37 Below

Install the system with Ghost backup system:

Ghost Text Tutorial

One, what is ghost?

Ghost Software is an excellent hard disk backup and Restore tool introduced by Symantec Corporation, which can be used for FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, OS2 and other hard disk partition format and hard disk backup and restore. Commonly known as cloning software.

1, characteristics: Since it is called cloning software, it shows that its ghost backup restore is in the hard disk sector as a unit, that is, a hard disk can be a complete copy of the physical information, not just the simple copy of the data; clones can only clone the body, but this ghost can clone all the stuff in the system, Including sound animation images, even disk fragments can help you copy, than the clone of the more powerful yo:). Ghost supports backing up partitions or hard disks directly into a file with a. gho extension (Symantec calls this file an image file), and supports direct backup to another partition or hard disk.

2, running Ghost: So far, ghost only support DOS operating environment, this can not be said not a regret: (. We usually copy the ghost file to the boot floppy disk (USB stick), you can also burn it into the boot CD, with the boot disk into the DOS environment, enter ghost at the prompt, return to run Ghost, the first thing that appears is about the interface, as shown in Figure 1:

Figure 1

Press any key to enter the Ghost interface, the Ghost menu, the main menu total 4 items, from bottom to top respectively quit (exit), Options (option), peer to peer (pairs, mainly used in the network), local (locally). In general, we only use the local menu item, there are three subkeys: disk (hard disk backup and restore), Partition (disk partition backup and restore), Check (hard disk detection), the first two features we use the most, the following explanation is around these two unfold.

3, because ghost in the backup restore is the sector to replicate, so in the operation must be careful, do not put the target disk (partition) is mistaken, or the target disk (partition) of the data all erased is very miserable ... There is not much chance of recovery, so must be serious, careful! But you should not be too nervous, in fact, the use of Ghost is very simple, understand the meaning of the words you will understand its usage, coupled with serious attitude, you can master it! Come Together:)

Second, partition backup

Pre-knowledge: recognize words

Disk: You do not have to say that you know, the meaning of disks;

Partition: That is, the partition, in the operating system, each hard disk drive letter (after the C disk) corresponds to a partition;

Image: Mirror, image is a file format that contains the contents of a hard disk or partition, with the extension. Gho;

To: In Ghost, simply understand to is "back to" the meaning;

From: In Ghost, a simple understanding from is "from ... The meaning of "restore".

(a) Partition menu introduction

There are three sub-menus under it:

To partion: Copy a partition (called source partition) directly to another partition (target partition), note that the target partition space cannot be less than the source partition when operation;

To Image: Back up a partition as an image file, note that the partition of the image file should not be smaller than the source partition, preferably larger than the source partition;

From image: Restores the partition from the mirrored file (restores the backed-up partition).

(ii) Production of partitioned image files

1. After running ghost, use the cursor arrow keys to move the cursor from "Local" via "Disk", "Partition" to the "to Image" menu item, as shown in Figure 2, then press ENTER.

Figure 2

2. Select the local hard drive window, as shown in Figure 3, then press ENTER.

Figure 3

3. The Select Source Partition window appears (the source partition is the partition you want to make the image file from), as shown in Figure 4:

Figure 4

Use the upper and lower cursor keys to position the blue light bar on the partition where we want to make the image file, press ENTER to confirm the source partition we want to select, and then press TAB to position the cursor on the OK key (ok turns white), as shown in Figure 5, and then press ENTER.

Figure 5

4, into the image file storage directory, the default storage directory is the directory of the ghost file, enter the file name of the image file in the filename, you can also take the path to enter a file name (at this time to ensure that the input path is present, otherwise will prompt the illegal path), such as input D:sysbak cwin98, Indicates that the image file Cwin98.gho saved to the D:sysbak directory, as shown in Figure 6, after the file name is lost, then enter.

Figure 6

5, then the "whether to compress the image File" window, as shown in Figure 7, there is "no (no compression), fast (rapid compression), high (compression ratio compression)", the lower the compression ratio, save faster. Generally select fast, with the right cursor arrow keys to move to fast, enter OK;

Figure 7

6, then a prompt window appears, as shown in Figure 8, with the cursor arrow keys to move to "Yes", enter OK.

Figure 8

7. Ghost starts making the image file, as shown in Figure 9:

Figure 9

8. After the image file is established successfully, a prompt to create a success window appears, as shown in Figure 10:

Figure 10

return to Ghost interface;

9, then press the Q key, enter after you can exit ghost.

At this point, the partition image file is finished! It's pretty simple:).

Third, restore the partition from the image file

By making the image file, we can restore it after the system crashes, which will restore the system state when the image file was created. The following describes the restoration of a mirrored file.

(a) In a DOS state, enter Ghost's directory, enter Ghost return, you can run ghost.

(b) After the Ghost main menu appears, use the cursor arrow keys to move to the menu "Local-partition-from image", as shown in Figure 11, and then enter.

Figure 11

(iii) The "Image File restore Location window" appears, as shown in Figure 12, enter the full path and file name of the image file at file name (you can also use the cursor direction key with the TAB key to select the path of the image file, enter the file name, but more cumbersome), such as D: Sysbakcwin98.gho, then enter.

Figure 12

(d) appears from the image file select the Source Partition window, directly enter.

(v) The Select Local hard Disk window appears, as shown in Figure 13, and then enter.

Figure 13

(vi) appears select the target partition from the hard Disk Selection window, we use the cursor key to select the target partition (that is, which partition to restore to), enter.

(vii) A question window appears, as shown in Figure 14, choose Yes to enter OK, Ghost begins to restore the partition information.

Figure 14

(eight) Soon after the restoration is complete, the Restore Complete window appears, as shown in Figure 15, select Reset Computer Enter to restart the computer.

Figure 15

Now complete the partition recovery, is not very fast:).

Note: When selecting a target partition, be sure to check the alignment, otherwise: (The consequence is that the original data of the destination partition will all disappear ...)

Four, backup and restore of hard disk

Ghost's sub-menu under the Disk menu allows you to directly copy the hard disk to the hard disk (Disk-to disk), the hard disk to the image file (disk-to image), and restore the hard disk contents (Disk-from image) from the image file.

In the case of more than one computer configuration, we can first install the operating system and software on a computer, and then use Ghost's hard disk copy function will be the system to "replicate" a copy to other computers, so that the operating system can be much faster than the traditional method oh:).

Ghost's Disk menu is the same as the partition, and the use is not many, here do not repeat.

V. Ghost Usage Scenarios

1, the best solution: After the installation of the operating system and various drivers, the common software (such as anti-virus, media playback software, office Office software, etc.) installed to the system disk, followed by the installation of operating systems and common software upgrade patches, and then optimize the system, Finally you can use the boot disk boot to DOS system disk clone backup, note that the size of the backup disk can not be less than the system disk!

2, if you because of negligence, in the installation of a system after a period of time to remember to clone backup, that's okay, before you better to backup the system disk in the garbage file removal, registration table of garbage removal (recommended with Windows Optimization Master), and then organize the system disk fragmentation, finishing to Dos clone backup.

3. Under what circumstances should the cloned backup be resumed?

When you feel the system is running slowly (at this time is mostly due to loading and unloading software, residual or mistakenly deleted some files, resulting in system disorders), the system crashes, in the more difficult to kill the virus, you will be cloned and restored! Sometimes if you don't defragment the disk for a long time, you don't want to spend half an hour or more on it. , you can also restore the cloned backup directly, which is much better than simply defragmenting the disk!

4, finally stressed: in the backup restore must pay attention to select the target hard disk or partition!
